Doctor did not disappoint the audience.
lie took up the recent Emma Abbott cpl
sode in Nashville, abused the prima
donna and praised the Rev. Mr.
Chandler to the skies Then ne pitched
into newspapers in general, aud The local
press in particular, for praisng theatrical
people aud their performances, for levoiing
so much space TO the recent letter Of Mr..
Davis opp osing prohibition and so little to
Bishop Galloway's reply, aud for dealing in
sensational matter in general. The Doctor
asserted he had statistics 10 show that no
more than onc- fourth of he editors ofsecu
lar papers in the United States were pro
Teasing Christians, and from that standpoint
argued that the secular press was a false
guide ard should be escbewed es far as pos
sible in Christian families. In conclusion he
said "If you doubt that snl personally re-
sponsible for what / sag. test it. After ]
pass through that door l scnrn TO shelter
